Family name origins & meanings

  • Czech and Slovak (Marušák), Polish (Maruszak), and Ukrainian (Marushak) : metronymic from Czech Maruše, or some other Slavic pet form of the female personal name Maria (see Marie).
  • In Polish and Ukrainian it is possibly also a nickname, from a derivative of the dialect word marucha ‘bear’.
